I originally thought UX Design to be dead for good. I was so wrong. I'm correcting myself to say in today's ecosystem, it's almost the only Design branch.
I'm working w product managers, developers quickly iterating on things including designs in front end, then asking me to fix. Which I very much enjoy doing so.
This is a growing trend among many businesses, eliminating the design hand-off and relying on the designer's eye and front end execution.
Remember when repeated myself like a parrot telling all designers to learn css, html, tailwind etc, for years?
Well, we're here.
